It took me a long (loooonnnng time) to feel even remotely comfortable with the idea that an e-reader might ever have a significant place in my life.

To date, I have accumulated several hundred books on my Kindle. And I have only paid for two of them. Yes, two.
I have since discovered that there are so many places to find out about free ebooks for my Kindle. It’s a little scary. Like an addiction. Almost overwhelming. I have so much to read that I don’t know what to read! Classics, history, fiction, children’s books, devotionals, and a plethora of pretty amazing cookbooks. (Not to mention I now have three versions of the Bible. So far.)
Nearly every classic is free which pretty much has me giddy as a school girl. (I am completely lost in Little Women at the moment…) Amazon.com also lists their top 100 free books for Kindle which is updated hourly. A serious treasure trove! I could go on to list all my favorite places to find out such things, but that would take all day.

The website is http://wilbor.lib.overdrive.com. Anyone with a valid library card can get all kinds of free books … it's just like a library. Read on, my friend and keep the coffee flowing. 🙂

Thanks for mentioning this, Nicole! I have used the library to download free books, too, but forgot to mention it. I really, REALLY like my Kindle Touch.

I love books too – mostly used vintage copies. I get especially excited if there is a handwritten inscription. It was really really hard for me to consider a Kindle but I'm so glad I did and I'm so glad my husband got me one. I subscribe to Pixel of Ink, Inspired Reads, and Power Reads and have loaded up on several freebies.

I was exactly the same way at the very mention of buying a kindle. My husband wanted one to take with him on his bus route so he could study when he has to wait. I scrunched up my nose at the very thought of a digital book. It seemed almost sacrilegious to me. Part of reading is the “experience” that thoroughly involves the senses. (LOL) when it arrived, I didn't want anything to do with it, and then it happened. He downloaded a book that hooked me. It was soooo easy to read and hold. *sigh* He bought me an I-pad for my birthday (with me protesting once again), then I discovered (thanks to my son) that I could sync it with his kindle!!! So now I have all the books he has at no additional cost! Yay! I can read with my I-pad in the dark, which is a totally new experience!
